Pets are a Plus
Food Service Consultants’ (FSC) owner D. Scott Phillips and several employees are proud pet owners. FSC provides the food for Purina Farms in Gray Summit MO, where the world revolves around animals. Health and wellness discussions typically encompass diet and exercise, furthermore can having pets positively impact how we feel physically and emotionally?
Does it Matter what Type?
Several sources say no. Growing up on a farm as a kid, we had frogs, rabbits, turtles, birds, dogs, horses and cats. Our cousins had a lot of hamsters and guinea pigs. Regardless the size or variety, basically they were our best friends, and we loved them all. This experience gave us an opportunity to learn responsibility at an early age.
Best Companions Ever
Animals supply unconditional love and companionship. It’s as if they sense our emotions and wellbeing, subsequently providing that nudge or lap nap exactly when we require it. It’s essential that we feed and care for them, which makes us feel needed and decreases loneliness. Dogs can often sense subtle changes in the environment associated with impending storms or potential danger. Service animals are trained to support individuals through challenges and health issues. Animals are creatures of routine and structure, therefore giving their owners a purpose.
Social Aspect
Pets have natural networking skills. They bring strangers together on walks, in dog parks and local pet stores. You may visit someone in a senior living facility and see resident birds, dogs or cats. Have you had a conversation with your critter lately, because they are great listeners. It’s a chance to boost daily activity, elevate our moods and receive unconditional love.
Choose the type most fitting for you, from dogs, cats to birds, fish, reptiles and more. Maybe you’re unsure about owning a pet or you’re seldom home. There are endless options to enjoy their company at the zoo, volunteering at the local animal shelter, cat cafes, equine therapy services or sitting for a friend. I promise it will make your day brighter!!!
